What's your experience been with that?

So it's been really good.

So my sister-in-law, Nancy, also took some and then her sister also has some.

So we have three, three reports.

my ones love it tucked right into well it was funny the first day they all tucked into it and like I was just looking at it going oh god you're gorging yourself on this and then they had about half an hour of eating it and then they're like oh this is boring walked away but they've been really good so hot tip definitely put it in a very small hole behind it Because Sparky loves to

Yeah.

And that's been, it's been a fun couple of weeks actually, because I've been speaking to so many different people and about all the different diets.

And there was a lot of like sample bags getting thrown around.

Very good.

I have another one.

There was a little skinny pony that was bought, and so very, very skinny, fed it up, and they were feeding it a high-grain diet, but because it was so skinny, they thought they were doing the right thing, and then typical foundered, and it now has completely insulin dysregulation, insulin's through the roof, so it's now on all the treatments to bring the insulin back down.

um yeah and it was just it was one of those things that you look at it you're like oh you're skinny You can't have EMS.

You can't have metabolic issues.

And then when it starts putting on weight, now it's still skinny, like around the ribs, but it's got pockets of fat on the shoulders and the bum and the neck and the head.

In your

opinion, when creating a nutritionally balanced diet based upon one and a half to 2% body weight in forage and without exploding digestible energy levels, is it better to include six to seven different forages and fiber sources? I want to know where she lives because six to seven different species is amazing.

So it is, it's so important to have lots of low non-structural carbohydrate content hay so that when you're not giving them access to their normal pasture, you can make sure that they've got plenty of hay to eat.

Well, that was one of the questions, was using my lovely porky pig out in the paddock at the moment.

So he's in the house paddock by himself because we just need to get on top of this.

So he's got his friends across the road, but he's got nothing in there.

Um, and as I s- told Nerida last week, I was under the impression I was feeding straw, and you know, me being away, I wasn't there to look at it every day.

We found out there was oaten hay, s- surprise, surprise, why his pulse wouldn't go away.

[laughs]

Mm.

Well, no, I don't know who you're talking about, but I did the same thing to myself.

Oh, right.

Well, the, the doctor prescribed this, and then ended up...

And, and they were on it for quite a while, and then ended up in A&E with the pain.

Like, in and out of the hospital, A&E twice.

Like, the pain was excruciating.

Um, and then the doctor went through and went through all the supplements and all the medication and pulled out the, um, B vitamin, and pain magically went away.

Yeah.

Zach?

So I've always dealt with his dad.

Um, and so I was going down to deliver Christmas gifts, as I do every year, and I rang Luke Wellsmith and was like, "Luke, where are you?" And he's like, "Oh, I'm at Toongabbie." "Perfect." Two birds, one stone.

Went down, and I'm walking towards this horse.

There's a guy on the left holding it, and Luke is underneath doing its feet.

I walk up, and I think I give the horse a pat.

I'm saying hello to, to Luke, and I grab the horse's cresty neck, give it a wiggle, and Luke baits me completely.
